Nap Power

Ever since Eli watched an old episode of He-Man online he has been proclaiming "I have the power!"  Today when I reminded him of his nap time, we had a very humorous conversation about nap power.

Eli:  "I can't take a nap.  I don't have nap power." 

Me:  "Oh really?  Why not?"

Eli:  "Um...(thinking)...because Daddy has the nap power and he didn't give it to me, so I don't have the power to take a nap."

Me:  "Oh, I see, so you have to wait until Daddy comes home, and then you can take a nap?"

Eli:  "Yes, yes.  I just don't have nap power.  But Daddy gave me garbage truck toy power, so we can go play garbage trucks!"

Me:  "Oh, okay, but guess what?  I have nap power because Daddy gave it to me before he left."

Eli:  "Oh, so you can go take a nap?"

Me:  "Yes, and you can come with me because I will give you the power."

Eli:  "No!  (starting to cry)  I don't want you to give me nap power because I don't want to take a nap."

Well, I guess it was only funny until the crying took over, but you have to hand it to him, he's a creative little boy.
